Most probiotics on the market come from dairy or plants. Ours don’t. Human Native™ Bifidobacterium adolescentis is different. It originates from the human microbiome itself, which means it is designed to live, survive, and thrive in your gut right where you need it most.
What is Human Native™ Bifidobacterium adolescentis?
Bifidobacterium adolescentis is a foundational member of the human gut microbiome. Unlike probiotics sourced from dairy or plants, Human Native™ strains are adapted to humans from the start.
That means:
- They are better equipped to survive stomach acid and bile salts
- They can colonize and persist in the gut microbiome
- They interact naturally with the body’s immune, digestive, and nervous systems
This is not a foreign visitor. It is a native ally.
Why Most Probiotics Fall Short
Many probiotics on the market sound good on the label but in practice:
- They often pass through the gut without colonizing
- They are borrowed from animals, dairy, or plants, not humans
- Their clinical benefits are inconsistent or anecdotal
That is why many people say, “I tried probiotics, but they didn’t work for me.”
Human Native™ Bifidobacterium adolescentis is different. It comes from your biology, for your biology.
The Science Behind Bifidobacterium adolescentis
Here is what peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials have shown about this Human Native™ strain:
Digestive Relief
In a 2025 randomized controlled trial, lactose-intolerant adults experienced measurable improvements:
- 71% decrease in abdominal pain
- 53% decrease in bloating
- 88% decrease in diarrhea
For those who struggle with dairy, this means not just managing symptoms but reclaiming freedom and comfort with food.
Gut Barrier Strength
Your gut lining is your body’s first line of defense. When it becomes more permeable, inflammation and health challenges can follow.
Bifidobacterium adolescentis has been shown to:
- Reduce intestinal permeability
- Up-regulate tight junction proteins that seal the gut lining
- Lower inflammatory markers
(University of Nebraska-Lincoln trial, PubMed 2018)
The result is a resilient gut barrier that supports long-term gut and immune health.
Superior Colonization
Probiotic survival and colonization are critical. If a probiotic cannot stay in the gut, it cannot deliver results.
In human studies, B. adolescentis:
- Outperformed the well-known strain B. lactis BB-12
- Achieved higher cell counts in the gut
- Persisted longer than leading probiotics
This persistence is what makes Human Native™ strains unique. They do not just pass through, they stay, integrate, and support the ecosystem of the microbiome.
Nutrient and Neuro Support
Beyond digestion, B. adolescentis provides important nutrient and neurological benefits:
- Produces GABA, a calming neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation, stress response, and the gut-brain axis
- Synthesizes folate, a vital nutrient for cognition, DNA synthesis, and cellular repair
This makes B. adolescentis not just a digestive aid but a whole-body support system.
Synergy With Prebiotics
Probiotics do not act alone. Prebiotics, specific fibers that feed good bacteria, can supercharge their effects.
When paired with galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), colonization of B. adolescentis increased nearly 100 times compared to probiotic alone (2015 study).
This demonstrates the precision power of combining Human Native™ probiotics with the right prebiotics, like those in Element Longevity Precision Prebiotic formulations.
What This Means for You
For people struggling with bloating, food sensitivities, or inconsistent digestion, Human Native™ B. adolescentis offers a clinically validated path forward.
- It helps restore comfort after meals
- It strengthens the gut barrier against everyday stressors
- It supports mood and cognition through the gut-brain axis
- It persists in the microbiome, providing benefits that last
This is more than a supplement. It is a step toward resilient, whole-body health.
Why Choose Human Native™ Over Conventional Probiotics
Conventional Probiotics | Human Native™ B. adolescentis |
---|---|
Sourced from dairy, plants, or animals | Sourced from the human microbiome |
Often pass through without colonizing | Persists and integrates in the gut |
Limited or inconsistent outcomes | Backed by clinical trials and PubMed research |
Focused mainly on digestion | Supports digestion, immunity, cognition, and mood |
